Amanda Seales Bougie Tweets Get Dragged

Respectability. It’s the word of the day, kids. It usually manifests on Twitter with people saying things like “INSTEAD OF BUYING JORDANS, GO TO TARGET AND INVEST IN A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY” or some heada$$ mess like that. We see it damn near every day. But it’s not every day we see it coming from celebrities.

Amanda Seales came through with the heada$$ tweet of the day wondering why people buy Jordans and “Nike suits” (whatever those are) instead of passports. Apples, meet oranges. The tweet reeks of respectability and a lack of understanding AT. ALL. about real economic displacement and what upward mobility looks like, but that’s for another day.

I read the whole thread. my reading comprehension is excellent. you’re shaming how people, usually poor, spend their money. I need to skip out on clothes/shoes I like to get a passport with no access to money to travel? just say you hate how some people do poverty and go. https://t.co/ssLvqK15PL
